The Winter may be stubborn, but we can be stubborn, too, Mathew. I am holed-up and housebound, with a car that won't start, and a world full of Winter white, but we have Substack and poems that refuse to bend to seasonal cliches. Stay warm & Stay Safe.
He who marvels at the beauty of the world in summer will find equal cause for wonder and admiration in winter.... In winter the stars seem to have rekindled their fires, the moon achieves a fuller triumph, and the heavens wear a look of a more exalted simplicity. ~John Burroughs, "The Snow-Walkers," 1866
